Texas star QB Brian Swain Jr., signs with Hampton University



LAREDO, Texas -- J. B. Alexander High School Quarterback, Brian Swain Jr., has agreed to play for Hampton University in Virginia.

Hampton is a DI  school and is in the MEAC conference, the same conference the Laredo Rattlesnakes (Lone Star Football League) new kicker, Blake Erickson (South Carolina State University) comes from.

According to online sources, Swain passed for roughly 3500 yards and 33 touchdowns his senior year, adding over a thousand more in his running game. He is the only quarterback in district 29-5A to pass for over 3400 yards and rush over one thousand (yards) in the same season.

Swain is also ranked ninth in the state of Texas in all time passing yards and was selected all district three years in a row. Swain also added MVP to his resume his senior year.

Alexander plans its future at quarterback

LAREDO, Texas - After three years of not having to worry about the quarterback position, Alexander coach Joel Lopez suddenly has a vacancy to fill.  Senior quarterback Brian Swain is graduating after leading the team to a 26-12 record over three seasons, including a historic 12-1 run last year.

“(Quarterback) is the most important position,” Lopez said. “It’s very vital we get the guy who will listen to us and do what we ask, follow the rules and be a good student at school.”

Those expecting a wide-open quarterback battle will be disappointed, however. Lopez and offensive coordinator Leo Mireles say the position is senior-to-be Alex Bryand’s to lose – though Brian Swain’s younger brother, freshman Aaron Swain, will be competing for the spot as well.
